Outside court, Pink said his client would enter not-guilty pleas at a later date.

An independent review concluded Kitch owed tens of thousands of dollars for “potentially personal” expenses charged to her IWK Health Centre credit card between August 2014 and June 2017.

She resigned as CEO of the Halifax children’s hospital in August 2017 and was later charged with breach of trust and fraud over $5,000.
